"Yohji Yamamoto + Noir" 00's-10's Floral jacquard jacket

"YOHJI YAMAMOTO + NOIR"

00's-10's Floral jacquard wool silk jacket

From YOHJI YAMAMOTO + NOIR, which deeply pursues the expression of black and embodies quiet strength and elegance, we are pleased to present a superb piece featuring a beautiful tonal pattern.

This piece features a jacquard fabric blended from wool and silk, with a floral pattern that subtly emerges at certain light angles, imparting depth to a single black tone.

The material is listed on the tag as 75% wool and 25% silk, and the wool's characteristic thickness and drape, combined with the subtle sheen of the silk blend, create a finish that is not flat black but reveals dimension through a textured weave, with shadows ranging from charcoal to ink-black.

The neckline is designed to transition from an open collar to a near-stand collar, creating natural negative space at the neck and a clean frame around the face; the front panels are minimally fastened with black buttons, so the design highlights the fabric's beauty rather than decorative embellishment.

The silhouette is labeled as size 2, with a relatively clean shoulder line and a modest-yet-adequate ease through the body, and a slightly flared A-line drape toward the hem that gently smooths the silhouette without clinging, allowing you to feel both Yohji’s soft negative space and Noir’s poised femininity.

Regarding the era, considering that the care label shows the old JIS washing instructions rather than the new ISO display since December 2016, that Yohji Yamamoto Co., Ltd. is listed at Higashi-Shinagawa 2-2-43 T33 as the seller, and taking into account the country of origin display and partial style-number specifications, this piece can be regarded as an archival item dating from around 2007 to before 2016.

Although it is a simple black jacket, the floral weave that reveals itself only on close approach and the silk-blend sheen give it a tangible presence, allowing it to naturally fit into everyday mood styling while also delivering a level of refinement that remains understated at occasions or during dining.

As a styling tip, pair with wide-leg trousers or a long skirt to emphasize vertical lines, allowing the jacquard shading to glow more beautifully; for the base layer, couple a high-gauge knit or a simple t-shirt to create a refined look that puts the fabric's depth at the forefront.

For those who wish to experience black not as a mere basic but through its texture and construction, this is a MOOD piece that adds a quiet luxury to daily life. We highly recommend taking this opportunity.
